It was incredibly frustrating because I was completely stuck. After searching on Google and reading the reviews, I decided to contact Phoenix Car Keys. The service was excellent. Zeni was professional, friendly, and really understood the situation I was in. He came out to Romford after 6pm and resolved the problem quickly. He did a fantastic job replacing the ignition barrel and sorting out the car key. I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of service. UK Night Hunting Vision04/02/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just purchased that day a 2011 Peugeot 207, a nice little runner. The mechanic that sold me the car told me to replace the key asap cause it was in a poorstate. Unfortunately that day it fell apart, and I had to be somewhere all aranged. I looked on internet and found you guys. Now the price for a mobile service to come out to you within an hour, cut a key and encode it is not cheap. But that is what it is. They gave me a price and I decided to go for it. They stated up to an hour n half. I told them I needed to be at a meeting. They contacted the mobile guy and he phoned me direct. His name was Sean, and told me thst he was aware I had a meeting. He said he would be there in 30 min. Sean kept his word, Cut the key, encoded it and I was on my way. It was a professional helpful serice from start to finish. Sean was helpful, a top man. Would I use Phoenix Car Keys Again? 100% the answer is a resounding YES!
